Staff are so friendly and lovely, the kids love how much outside time they get and don't want to leave when I come to collect them!
I love hearing about their days from staff, though the only thing the kids ever seen to tell me about is the food so they must love it!

This is the best nursery you could send your child to. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming as well as professional and very helpful. My little boy struggled to settle in to begin with but he absolutely loves it now. He has developed so much since starting nursery and has learned lots of new things.
His social skills have improved as well as his speech and behaviour in general.

Fully supportive of my child who needs that extra support. Their keyworker has gone above and beyond to find out about him. They have encouraged him to meet both physical and emotional milestones which have been delayed.
The nursery has been open to other support agencies coming in to support my child.
His progress updates are in detail and timely.
Some of the staff also looked after my now 6 year old and she always loved it there too.

My child registered last year at Kindred Beeston after being recommended. From the get-go it’s been just a positive experience the manager and staff are really friendly, approachable, kind and caring you can really see a real change in my child’s development already. He comes home asking if he can go
back to nursery and naming the team at home. He comes home with lots of crafts, always speaks about his day, baking activities, events celebrated, dance class and tennis which is his favourite. My child always arrives at nursery eager to enter and he doesn’t want to come home at the end of the day, this was really helpful returning back to work to know he was happy. I feel the settling-in sessions were really helpful, nothing was too much to ask. I was very nervous and called/emailed the manager and staff was very informative to ease me, they also have an app they use, adding daily updates/pictures. It’s overall an amazing experience. I highly recommend Kindred Beeston.

My little boy came to the nursery, before leaving for school he was always happy and got excited when we got to the door. The staff were always so welcoming and went above and beyond to help him learn and develop. He still talks about it now and even pops by to visit and say hello to everyone.

Amazing - setting staff go above and beyond caring for my son, and to ensure all his needs are met. My child has learned so much and developed confidence since being in the setting. It’s amazing to see all the new things he is taught. The setting is always clean and tidy, and the staff are always so
supportive of me and my family.

My child goes to preschool at Kindred Beeston and has always come home very happy. My child talks about his day and says how much fun he’s had doing different activities and outdoor play. The staff are always really friendly at drop off and when I am collecting my child. My child brings home any activities
that have been done on a daily basis but most of all loves to bake. We are full-time working parents and struggle at times to do some baking at home very occasionally we do but it’s amazing knowing my child gets the opportunity to bake cakes, biscuits, gingerbread men etc. My child loves the staff working there as names have been mentioned when they come home.

Reply from Niki McCormick, Marketing Admin at Kindred Beeston Nursery and Pre-School

Thank you for your kind review and for being part of our Kindred family at Beeston.
We love being able to carry out activities with our little ones that we call child led and if your son has expressed an interest in baking then this will continue, plus we love a good bake! We understand how difficult it can be for working parents to fit everything in and as this is his home from home and it's our mission to help our little ones create moment of awe and wonder then we love being able to help with his development with all aspects.

Our daughter has been at this nursery since September and I've already noticed her development - she's thriving in all areas! The staff here are fantastic and every single one knows every single child there, which is so reassuring as a mother. We're always greeted by warm smiles at drop off and pick
up, no matter which staff member, and our daughter stretches her arms out every time as she's so happy to be going! I've genuinely felt there's such a personal feel at this nursery and would wholeheartedly recommend to everyone looking. The location is great too!

The nursery has always been a welcoming, happy place for my children. The staff have always worked hard in trying to support our choices and develop our children as individuals. My daughter has now moved on to school and is ready for that next stage, thanks to them.

We are so happy with our experience here and our daughter absolutely loves it! All the staff, including management, are friendly, professional and can’t do enough! Our daughter is always so happy when she arrives there in the morning and is happy and smiley on the collection. It’s clear she has such
a good bond with the staff, as she says their names at home and is so excited to see them and give them a cuddle in the mornings. I’m also very impressed with the range of activities which they do. I love that there’s always something messy/sensory, and they value outside time as being important.

We love sending our child to Kindred, the staff are amazing and so friendly.
Each morning we are greeted by warm a friendly member of the team. On a regular basis we even get greeted by the management staff who are also attentive and greet each child in an affectionate and caring way.
My daughter
has flourished whilst being in the preschool room and that is greatly in part to the room coordinator, she is amazing with the children and comes up with clever and fun ways to aid the children's development.

My son has attended Kindred Beeston Nursery & Pre-school for a few months now. All staff are amazing with him and me (I worry a lot) they're always kind and professional. He loves messy activities and playing on the bikes outside. The staff update you on the phone when you call, like I do. Definitely
would recommend them.

This is the second nursery our daughter has attended and the placement was for a very short period (approx 7 weeks). We were very pleased with the activities the nursery offered. The staff were always informative and pleasant. Our daughter absolutely loved this nursery and we wish she had always been
able to go there. As soon as she started there, she blossomed in areas where she had failed to in her last nursery. The nursery had excellent procedures for covid-19 and we never felt our daughter was at risk within the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Kindred Beeston Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.942 for Kindred Beeston Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.942

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Beeston Nursery and Pre-School is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
